I feel that my job is to instill confidence, self discipline, and leave them with a feeling of pride that only accomplishment can bring. All while teaching them a skill that has always been loved and respected. If I can teach one child something that they feel they can always depend on and reach out to in order to make them-selves feel good about ones self, then I feel that I have done what God put me here to do. The bottom line is that dance should lighten your heart. "Dance should be fun.”
